Guild Wars 2

MaRko.3165:

It sounds like your SLI config is set to have one card be PHYSX.

I’d goto the NCP and SLI page and reset to defaut settings as well as the GW2 listing in the Nvidia control panel and ‘enable defaults’ and ‘apply settings’ to save.

would this affect anything? I had no idea that PhysX was even being used in GW2.

infrequentia.3465:

they had enough beta’s like Indoles says.
and name 1 game that doesn’t have bugs.
bugs are bound to happen. just report them and they wil get fixed

Dude, every single update/patch has introduced new bugs or failed to fix earlier bugs. There is absolutely no QA or test server in this game.

Thanks I’ll give it a shot Marko. I’ll let you know if it works or not.

Can’t believe how bad the graphics engine is in this game. hybrid CPU/GPU rendering? Who thought that was a good idea.

Right, fixed it. Guild Wars 2, the sequel to Guild Wars, departs from the formula found in Guild Wars, with a clear gear treadmill. “Exotic” weapons and gear are less powerful than “Ascended” items, and “Legendary” weapons are now and will always be scaled to be more powerful than both of these types. Casual players are unlikely to ever equip legendary weapons due to the time required to obtain the materials needed to construct a Legendary weapon. Ascended items, whilst being slightly more accessible, will still take days, or even months to equip for a casual player.

Why did you omit this part?

“Nevertheless, gear is not essential to the enjoyment of the game and does not divide a line between casual and hardcore players, relying on skill in order to successfully complete challenges.”

because it isn’t true?

I feel the same way resonance.
Look at this list of games…

The description of Guild Wars is pretty accurate. The description for GW2 is erroneous.

" Like Guild Wars, equipment gained from the grinding experience that does exist, is only differentiated by its outward appearance and not by its statistics, (HAHAHAHA) meaning hardcore and casual players have access to the same quality, in terms of statistics, gear (HAHAHAHAHA)."

We should probably change that to reflect what actually goes on.

Grind Wars 2, from the company that said they don’t make grindy games.

^ Apparently has never played any other MMO. You think GW2 is a grind? lul

Played Anarchy Online, Guild Wars 1, and this.

Please don’t assume things that you can’t possibly know. You just end up looking silly.

Grind Wars 2, from the company that said they don’t make grindy games.

Oh and “nothing good” every time you open a JP/Dragon chest.

Latest drivers from nvidia, two GTX 580’s from the same manufacturer, same model.

This forum should be called “you story is not all about you, but about some random NPC that the writers threw in for no apparent reason”

Is there a way to force SLI in this game? Every time I hit max graphics settings, one of my GPUs hits a high % of usage, whilst the other one is at like 20-30% of use according to MSI afterburner.

Saved it for when I have Karma boosters. 5,000 base Karma is nothing to sneeze at XD

Eastern Australia? Join Sea of Sorrows. Eastern US? Join pretty much any other NA server and you’ll be sorted.

What’s your timezone? It helps to find a server with a large population of people in your own time =D

Absolutely saving it. Karma is easy, a memento like this comes rarely or een only once.

A memento of what? Running around 2 maps doing boring chores? Personally I set my standars a good bit higher. So far this event is nothing but one big disappointment.

So far this event JUST STARTED.

And it’s introductory hook was massively boring. Barely any story in it and 75 repeatable tasks? What’s next? Kill 10 rats?

I’m the ele you see on the GW2 wiki pages for 42k Karma Armor.

I never have the mask displayed. It looks ridiculous.

Windwalker.2047:

Orr was so much fun yesterday-I actually felt like fighting risen on my way to the next event.
Now,I will never take another step in Orr

Orr was so much fun that after I got back from work today, I logged back on to Malchor’s to play it again.

Then I realised that the game is geared towards the un/(der)employed. They got to farm right till the patch, I guess. Whilst everyone else gets to watch their wealth climb high XD

Guys guys guys, you’ve got it all wrong! MIKE SAID that “we don’t make grindy games”, clearly, CLEARLY, you’re wrong and he’s right. Legendary weapons have the same stats as L80 Exotics, but with a different skin. So do Ascended gears. There is NO gear treadmill!

and then I awoke and found to my dismay that it was all a dream

(Actually Mike did say that)

(HE LIED)

So, as someone already said, they are able to monitor drops, and tell when they think something is wrong, hm…

yeah so why the heck they did ask us to provide data on “percieved strange loot behaviour” IF they can monitor drops?

Clearly they realised ppl are having fun (or more probably botters make too much profit).

Obviously they have no test server or QA team to test drop rates, so they tell us to let them know when they give us good drops

And for a little while, Orr was alive and fun to play in again.

People having fun in Guild Wars 2? NERF IT NOW!!

Just because Blackgate doesn’t get it, 2v1 is nothing to be surprised about.

Just look at the picture below: Sea of Sorrows is green, Stormbluff Isle is red, and Jade Quarry is blue…

And yet, we were still able to make a comeback and win the match. So it’s not because the entire SoS and JQ communities devised a plan together to beat Blackgate. It’s because that’s how things go here. Maybe next week SoS and BG will 2v1 JQ, or BG and JQ will 2v1 SoS who knows. But there’s no conspiracy here bro.

Lol SBI did their best work through dirty tactics. And still could never beat us.

Papaj.9035:

The Mexican Cookie.3690:

Did we (SBI) cry about 2v1 this much?

If you did I don’t remember it as vividly as I will this. Besides, my fondest memory of any emotion-filled forum responses actually comes from your own forums right here. Oh Kelo, your post brings a tear to my eye every time I read it. Keep up the good fight in T2, you guys can still recover as a server.

That was HILARIOUS XD

omg, it’s like he thinks we’re Nazi Germany.

The Mexican Cookie.3690:

More even, I guess. SoR take the lead during NA prime time then we take it back during asian prime time. SoR portal bomb so much it’s crazy, TC folk are really friendly.

Portal Bombs, using culling as an offensive weapon. XD

Not that I recall. How’s T2?

I’m trying to say “deal with it” without sounding too proud.

Nah too much work.

“Deal with it”

Also, we’re not a huge fan of JQ, we don’t team up with our rivals just to beat you guys XD, the second V and third W in WvWvW should have clued you into the fact that it can happen occaisonally without planning.

Please note, we’re also stomping JQ in terms of score.

BOOM! SOS is here to stay!

Sorry BG, welcome to T1 XD

Score update! SoS leads, JQ has the highest tick!

Oh, and to all the BG people complaining about being hit by SoS and JQ at the same time.. Welcome to WvWvW? That’s the idea.

BG is on the middle of the fire but we will survive, thanks for asking… If we sink, at least i have a boat already!

I heard Sea of Sorrows has krakens that can poke a lot of holes into your boat. Imagine 30+ of those waiting for ya by the end of the shore!

We actually have a swordfish squadron. Best way to poke holes.

Just held Redbriar against 7 BG breakout events. SoS FTW =D

Have BG all logged off?

SOS: 40,413
BG: 38,853
JQ: 35,460
